Mike you might have to drive the axel out with a brass drift and a big hammer. You ask if its common. I don't know overall. But its happened to me twice on the left side on my B, over fifty years. I remember the first time best. I think if the cap screw on that side was left handed it wouldn't come out. Of course I would probably wreck things trying to get it out.
I was finishing a land and both back wheels were in a furrow, as the furrows separated it wedged the wheel and axel out of bull gear and there I sat. Neighbors were working nearby and help put it back together. The washer you are talking about fell into the pan, we didn't know it was there. Later in cold weather the washer was picked and run into the bull gears and a little piece cut off, stopping the tractor until it was driven out. And after too long a story, that is one way those washers get chewed up. There are probably others.
